    • Close Eating Disorders
      Type: Anorexia

      I am a 33 yr old divorced mother of four children. I have 3 beautiful daughters and a son who passed away in a car accident in 2001. I have suffered with an ED since I was 14 off and on. I currently for the most part am in recovery.

      Treatments

      Residential Treatment Center Working / Worked
      When I was there for me, by me, it worked. When I was ready to recover I saw the benefits of it. The several times before had very little impact on me at all
    • Close Depression
      Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

      I am a divorced mother of four children. I have 3 beautiful daughters and a son that passed away in a car accident March 10, 2001. I have been diagnosed with Borderline, Anorexia, PTSD and Dysthymia

      Treatments

      Desipramine Not Working
      lowered my BP to a point where I could not stand, spent three days in bed
      Elavil Not Working
      worked for a while but then started affecting my BP like every other med
      Lexapro Not Working
      Gave me a non stop migraine from the day I started it
      Prozac Not Working
      Made me very angry, beyond normal anger. Actually felt capable of homicide...SCAREY!
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Has kept me alive thus far and has been a great safety net when I needed it.
    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Child

      I lost my 3 yr old son in a car accident on ice. I was driving and it was declared no fault/weather related but I still feel so much responsibility. After that my marriage ended in divorce and now I am raising my three beautiful girls alone. We have joint custody and they do well with it, but its a shame they have to. It's been near 6 years and I still feel like I am at square one in dealing with this.

      Treatments

      Crying Working / Worked
      IF i can cry it works. I rarely cry as I fear I will never stop.
      Prayer Working / Worked
      It does work, however I get frustrated when I don't get the answers and healing I seek fast enough.
      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      Really helped when I had that as an option. I miss it a lot now that I don't have it anymore.
    • Open Adoption

      I was adopted at birth when I was only a few days old. My adoption was a private closed adoption and it has forever left a void in my life.

      Treatments

      Psychotherapy Working / Worked
      IT was helping, but that void will always remain until I can find out who my birth mom is.
    • Open Asthma
      Type: Childhood Asthma

      My 12 yr old daughter has asthma. She was doing much better till we moved from Iowa to WA state.

      Treatments

      Advair Working / Worked
      Seemed to work while she was on it. But she was on so many different things it is hard to tell what works or doesn't anymore. Combo's do the trick for her
      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      She did these when she was a toddler to increase her lung capacities. She has not done any in years.
      Inhaler Working / Worked
      Albuterol is her friend!Been on many others as well!
      Singulair Working / Worked
      Worked for awhile, but then she seemed to build a tolerance against it where it became ineffective.
      Flonase Working / Worked
      Since her asthma seems to be triggered a lot by her sinuses not draining, they plug completely full, this really helps get her over the hump!
    • Open Spina Bifida
      Type: spina bifida occulta

      My 4 yr old daughter was diagnosed with Spina Bifida Occulta Tethered cord, a few months ago. She just had tethered cord surgery Sept 24th.

      Treatments

      Surgery Too Soon to Tell
      She just had surgery on Sept. 24th. I hope this works for her. It was found during a visit to see her urologist. MRI was "borderline" but was confirmed with urodynamic testing.
